Yes Randy (gt350hr)…you were right, it is the same Ron Miller from Ford Power Parts (FPP) where you worked years ago and where you met your wife Carol who was working for me at the time. Now that my history is confirmed…
As I replied to Bob Gaines I am NOT, NOR HAVE I EVER CLAIMED TO BE A SHELBY EXPERT! As I am sure you remember, I am an expert on FE Ford Engines and I am very knowledgeable on Sm blks, 351C and 460 series engines, as well as on 65-70 Mustangs, since approximately 400 went through my hands over the years. But I am not considering myself an expert on Mustangs either.
Maybe someday I can only hope to be an expert in all areas, as you seem to portrait yourself for years; I suppose that it is based on your vast knowledge that it gives you the right to criticize and bad month people that you don’t consider being at your level of expertise.
If you re-read my text of the car for sale, you will notice that as soon as it was brought to my attention that this car has not been judged at a Shelby event, please note that I rectified it immediately because I realized that it was not accurate for me to claim that it was a 99 point car. With an add on note, I specified that it has not been judged and never graded at a Shelby car show. Also on my outgoing emails in relation with this car, I removed the “99 point car”, but I left it listed as a #1 car, which I don’t think that this statement could be debatable.
This being said, if for years you kept some grudge against me, about which I totally ignored the cause… or if you have some kind of a personal vendetta against me, why don’t you simply come to me directly, either by getting together, or by emailing me or write me a letter to let me know what are the unresolved issues, so we can “bury the hatchet” instead of all this ongoing behind the scenes back stabbing? Who knows, maybe I’ll even buy you a chicken dinner!
This country (and the world at large) are in enough turmoil right now, so all of our energies should be focused on healing, being proactive in trying to fix the problems, and helping each other before it is too late, instead of quibbling over some possible minor issues that may have happened 25+ years ago.
And in closing I really appreciate all the feedback received here about what is incorrect about this car and I am looking into everything suggested. Thank you!!
